My Name is Kobe Bryant

Chapter 77 Return to Philadelphia

After the game with the Big Three, Kobe was lying on a physiotherapy bed paralyzed. Fisher and Ben Wallace are giving him a massage.

"Boss! How is the strength?"

"Boss! Is this method okay?"

Jeff and Gary looked at each other in blank dismay. Are these licking dogs robbing us of our jobs?

"Kobe, go to Philadelphia for the next game. Your hometown?" O'Neal was doing physical therapy in the next bed, and he checked the schedule. There will be a three-way game next.

Today is November 24. The team will play away against the 76ers on the 26th, back-to-back against the Celtics on the 27th, and away against the Pistons on the 29th.

"Are you going back to Philadelphia?" Kobe is looking forward to this game very much. There are old Joe's family, Raul Mayne's coach, relatives and friends, and that fateful opponent.

Allen Iverson and Kobe are the two hottest rising stars this year. Both of them have a unique style of play and are very popular.

Some people have already compared them with Grant Hill and Kidd back then. It is also a year when the two stars shine, who will win the best rookie award?

In the West, in Los Angeles, there is no doubt that Kobe has become a future star in the eyes of fans.

In Philadelphia, Iverson is no longer just a star. His current role is the savior of the 76ers.

In the messy Philadelphia 76ers, he averaged 21.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 2.1 steals at the beginning of the season. His offensive lethality is too strong, and he carried the team to win many times.

In the first game of his career, he scored 30+2+6 superstar data. Although he lost to Jordan in the second game, everyone is optimistic about this little man, thinking that he will become the second smiling assassin.

In the third game, he was killed by Grant Hill, but after realizing his shame, he bravely led the team to a 3-game winning streak and scored 30+ points in two games.

This is totally a protagonist template!

Before the game against the Lakers, Iverson beat Ewing first, and then beat Chris Webber. Allen Iverson returned home with a victorious momentum, waiting for the battle with the powerful Lakers in the West.

Everyone is looking forward to the match between the two most talented players of the 96 generation.

Early the next morning, Kobe called Pelinka.

"Boss, I know what you want. I already got the tickets, and I flew to Philadelphia yesterday to deliver them to Old Joe."

Kobe opened his mouth. As expected of the future president of the Lakers, his ability to do things is too good.

"Thanks Rob."

"Boss, after yesterday's game, my phone was ringing. About a dozen companies found me and wanted to sponsor you. I will sort it out and send it to you later."

"Is there a sneaker contract?"

"Adidas, Nike, Reebok, and even Converse are all in contact. But their prices don't meet your boss's needs. I'm still negotiating with them."

"Very well, Rob, you did a great job."

"Ha, BOSS, this is my job. In addition, the Lakers agreed to pay all the salary for this season. Uncle West helped us say a lot of good things. They will pay to your account on Christmas."

"Good news, keep in touch buddy."

"Okay boss, see you tomorrow night in Philadelphia!"

Kobe called Old Joe again.

As soon as the phone was connected, Joe's loud voice came from the other side.

"Kobe! You played well in the game yesterday! But your dunks are not as good as mine. It seems that you haven't learned the essence of me. Hurry up and go back to Philadelphia to train you."

Then came the roar of Kobe's mother, Pamela Bryant.

"Training you for your size and ability? My son is a professional basketball star, do you need training from an old guy? It's fine if you are domineering at school, but don't play this trick at home!"

"Hey, hey, my wife, don't pull your ears. Kobe is still listening, show me some face."

"Hey, Kobe. Keep going, see you tomorrow in Philadelphia." Old Qiao coughed twice, and immediately hung up the phone before Kobe could reply.

Kobe laughed, the relationship between his parents is really good.

He packed his luggage, and this time he went out for a long time, and then drove to the airport to meet the team.

The distance between Los Angeles and Philadelphia is very long. The team plane takes off at 10:00 in the morning, and it takes 8 hours to fly until it arrives at 18:00 in the evening.

On the plane, the Lakers players were laughing and joking, and the team defeated the strong teams one after another, which made the atmosphere in the team very good.

This is the case with any sports-related team. As long as you have results and can win, the atmosphere in the team will be good.

Keep losing, no matter how tacit the partners are, they will start to doubt each other.

O'Neal has been very happy these two days. He has won two consecutive victories against Olajuwon, which is an unprecedented record. Especially in the second game, Barkley and Olajuwon defended him together, making the media already brag that Olajuwon is dead and needs help to defend O'Neal.

Although there were not many shots in the second game, O'Neal, who scored 17 points and 13 rebounds, was the key to the team's victory. Without O'Neal, he was involved in defense in the paint. There is no doubt that Kobe can't play such an excellent performance. This is known in the team. O'Neal made a sacrifice in exchange for Kobe's throat with a sword.

So, O'Neill started to be funny with great interest.

"Little fish, come here and give Big Diesel a shoulder squeeze!"

Surprise, grievance, humiliation, and panic flashed across Fisher's face.

"Okay sir!"

Cheerful laughter came from the plane.

The team arrived at Philadelphia International Airport overnight, and the team chartered a bus to take them to their hotel.

When O'Neill arrived at the hotel, he called Campbell, Van Exel and Byron Scott, and sneaked out.

Kobe knew that they probably went to nightclubs, and Kobe talked to the coach, called a car, and planned to go home for a day.

"Kobe!" As soon as he got in the car, the black uncle driver recognized Kobe.

"Hi buddy."

"I'm your fan!"

"Thank you, it's a great honor."

"You guys are going to play against the 76ers tomorrow. I will watch it on time at home."

"OK."

"Kobe, can you get an AI's signature for me?"

Kobe has black lines all over his face, you are probably my fake fan.

Back home, Kobe hugged his parents and chatted for a while.

Pamela was afraid of affecting Kobe's game, so she drove Kobe back to the room to rest.

Kobe called Odom.

"Lamar, did you get your ticket?"

"Boss, I received it! I can't believe that I can go to the NBA!" Odom, who was born in poverty, jumped up happily when he received the ticket. The first is that Kobe Bryant still remembers himself and cares about himself after becoming a big star. Then he was poor and never went to the NBA to watch the game.

"Man, next year would love to see you on the court instead of the sideline."

"I will work hard!" Odom said sternly. He performed very well this year under the leadership of DeGrégio at St. Thomas Aquinas High School, scoring top data of 18 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 blocks.

This shows that he has attracted a lot of attention, and many universities are ready to invite this No. 1 high school student in the United States to join.

But he has already discussed with Kobe that he will join the NBA as soon as he graduates from high school!

Will Odom's fate change?
